Poetry & Publications
With University of Toronto's poetry courses, I have been able to strengthen my literary voice. Currently, with the help of Diaspora Dialogue's Long Form Mentorship, I have been working on my debut poetry collection. My current mentor is Fillipinx-Canadian poet and author Therese Estacion.
Below are the issues where poems are published.
“With deftness and striking control, Kryslyne-Mai Ancheta’s poems explore themes of identity, family, belonging, and the legacies of colonization with a refreshing and distinctive voice. Through powerful imagery and a keen ear for sound, her work resonates on the page and crackles when spoken aloud. These poems are a stunning act of bridging—between worlds, histories, and ways of seeing.” - Delani Valin, poet
Janice Colbert Poetry Prize
Through University of Toronto, I received the Janice Colbert Poetry Prize at TIFA (Toronto International Festival of Authors) in October 2025.
Special thanks to Lee Gowen, Janice Colbert, Jim Colbert, Therese Estacion and 2025 Jurors.
